View, download, and export
Need support with viewing, downloading, and exporting files and folders from your Dropbox account? Find help from the Dropbox Community.
I'm trying to download a large folder through the web client. After I click download I'm prompted to save a small file called unspecified.htm, which saves and then nothing else happens. I'm sure I've used this feature successfully before. Any idea what's happening?
I've tried both download methods - click the folder and click download at the top, and right click. I can download individual files successfully.
Tried Mozilla Firefox & Chrome, Windows 10.
Same problem.
Tried both Safari and Firefox on Mac OS X, with the same result as everyone else here. The only thing that downloads is a file called unspecified.html
Same problem!
Chrome & Safari on Mac OS X.
Just joining the resounding echo of "Same here" with one more - same here!
Put me down for a "same here..."

Same thing here with Microsoft Edge. Very frustrating.
You cannot download over 1gb of data via the browser. You have to download the Dropbox "application".
